Edith Dekyndts installation
Carousel takes us on a virtual
journey into the past, but without
showing concrete images. Instead
of presenting personal memories,
Carousel confronts the viewer with
the evidence of what actually is:
dust that has accreted in the empty
slide frames; dust as microscopic
particles of time that settle on
everything; dust as physical traces
of the past that betray nothing of
this apart from the idea that it is
very distant. The total of eighty
slide frames that fill the carousel
of a Kodak projector are over fifty
years old and were acquired by the
artist in their original packaging.
Each slide frame has two thin glass
plates between which a developed
slide can be inserted. Some of the
glass plates have been treated with
an emulsion that has dried out over
the years and developed cracks.

Florian Heckers sound installation
Modulator consists of a directional
loudspeaker and an electroacoustic composition. The
acoustic signals sound atonal,
interrupted, and melodic only in
some sequences. They unfold
themselves both tonally and
spatially and open up a form
of perception in not only acoustic
but also physical volumes.
The tonal spectrum of the sound
installation ranges from tapping,
cracking, scratching, knocking
and swooshing noises, as well as
interference impulses, beeping
alarms, propellers, whirring tones and
rhythms, and also extends to melodic
sounds. Hecker takes full advantage
of the acoustic potential by superimposing various frequencies and letting

Online information, fiction and
reality can be altered or obstructed
to the point of confusion. Multifaceted and baring minimalistic
aesthetics, Mandla Reuters
practice shifts in its form and
meaning, pushing the viewer
to get the bigger picture. In an
almost psychedelic mind trip, his
installations let different narratives
unfold without directly pointing
at one. Exhibited in The Future of

Reappearing Things
Curated by Goran Petrovi
Parallel to the exhibition Disappearing
Things in Belgrade, which forms the
point of departure for The Future
of Memory, the film curator Goran
Petrovi has compiled a selection of
artists films that examine the possible politicization of art based on the
appropriation of found film material.
In its approach to the history of photo,
video and print archives, the film program critically questions the simplistic
merging of various discourses in the
post-political society and also highlights the potential of art to meet the
challenges of the current political system. The confrontation with the past
takes place here not in the context of
simple memory, but as contemporary
reflections on future fields of action.
Which past do we construct through
the filter of which vision of the present?

Performances
Thu 19/2 2015, 7 pm
Performance by Hanne Lippard
Hanne Lippards text-based works
utilize daily speech and transform
this into compositions of words
characterized by syntactical
repetition and lexical alienation. In
her performances her voice becomes
a mechanical instrument of narration
that transforms accumulated
language materials consisting of
quotes, slogans and text messages
into melodic abstractions.
Wed 4/3 2015, 7 pm
Performance by Amalia Ulman
Amalia Ulmans Excellences and
Perfections is an online performance,
worked out to fine details, which the
artist has propagated solely through
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
The sequence of fictional events and
experiences, together with the visual
staging, approaches the narrative
structure and aesthetics of the social
media until the boundaries between
reality and fiction begin to blur in this
media self-dramatization.
